Halloween Candy Power Ranking

[ChetlovesMer]

There are very few things I'm sure of.

But this I know. Almond M&M's are the best candy. If you read or hear anything else. Somebody is lying to you.

100%.  It's my general rule for other treats, like ice cream, as well. Earthtones (choc/vanilla/caramel/ their variations) >>>>>> colors (fruits/sherbets, etc).

I would like to know if in their random matchups, a dime ever snuck past a quarter.  That's the only one in there where I think the answer would be entirely objective, but I'm still curious.

Candy corn is ok,  I'll eat it when its out.  People seem very passionate about it though ... its like the cilantro of sweets.

I've tried them.   Sorry, my taste buds would rather have raw almonds and peanut M&Ms.    I'm not in denial, I'm married and that's my wife's opinion!  😅

Depends on my mood/craving. Sometimes I want something fruity like starburst, skittles, tootsie frooties. Sometimes I want some choc/PB like Reese’s. Sometimes I want Oreos haha

Well if you eat enough candy corn you will almost surely create a rotten tooth that will need pulling, so that kind of makes sense.

I will have to say, fruity candies are not that good. They never taste as good as fresh fruit.

Some fresh Mike & Ikes or Swedish Fish are good from time to time.

KitKat, 3-Musketeers, Dark Hershey bar, Reese's Peanut butter cups. In no particular order.

Thank God for chocolate. No shrinks needed. Heaven can wait. Dentists rejoice!

I'm not close-minded. Of course, I will listen to other people's opinion. All I'm saying is I'm right and there's nothing you can say to change my mind. .... But again, I'm not close-minded.

Milk Duds

These are great for removing loose fillings!

Almond M&Ms are excellent, but the classic Peanut ones are good too!

Giving out Candy Corn is a good way to ensure your house will get egged.

Nah I think some are good. 
 

They never taste the same is how I would put it. Generally, I prefer fresh fruit, too, e.g., I’d rather have fresh strawberries, a banana, some watermelon, blueberries, and so on.
 

But one example for me personally are cherries. Do not like cherries. Never have liked them, but I like cherry-flavored fruit candy. Tends to taste more like “fruit punch” or something. Hard to describe because fruit candy never tastes like the actual fruit. 
 

Also if the fruit is out of season, but still fresh, then I think the candy variant wins out at least in terms of taste.

Many people are telling me, and I agree, that Whoppers are absolutely the worst.

I dunno. This list puts candy corn much too high:

Yeah, candy corn should be dead last on any list.
